I never even went anywhere outside north america, and so many vaccines!! So people would be ready to go somewhere if they needed to, I guess.

More of this, less of bombing other countries

I think intent should, and does matter!

As far as I understand, it can bounce off your body into the net, you just can‘t intentionally kick it in. So they probably ruled it a bounce and not intentional use of elbow to try and get the puck in.

Once again, it should not take this long to review a goal. #PWHL

Iran’s IRGC Says It Will Decide Who Crosses Hormuz Amid Divisions in Regime By Benoit Faucon The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it would decide which vessels are allowed to cross the Strait of Hormuz despite Iranian pledges that the waterway has been unblocked, in a sign the regime is divided over giving up its control of the critical oil conduit. “Passage is only possible with the permission of the IRGC Navy,” the paramilitary force said in a statement carried by state media. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said earlier Friday on X that Hormuz was fully open following a cease-fire in Lebanon. Media affiliated with IRGC, which engineered Iran’s de facto closure of the maritime waterway, have attacked Araghchi’s announcement. The IRGC-affiliated news agency Tasnim warned the opening “will be considered null in case the alleged maritime U.S. blockade continues.” Tasnim criticized Araghchi’s post for “a complete lack of tact in information dissemination.” Fars, another IRGC news agency, said that “following the unexpected tweet from the Foreign Minister about the liberation of the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian society has been plunged into an atmosphere of confusion.” Saeid Golkar, an expert in Iran’s security services at the University of Tennessee in Chattanooga, said the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei had left Iran’s regime divided. “Because the main arbitrator is gone, the fight between different factions has started,” he said.

44 min ago Iran Rejects Claim It Would Transfer Enriched Uranium to U.S. By Saleh al-Batati Iran said Friday it won’t send its stockpile of enriched uranium abroad, pushing back on remarks by President Trump that Tehran had agreed to hand it over. Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said the material wouldn't be transferred “anywhere,” according to state media, underscoring Iran’s long-standing position on retaining control over its nuclear assets. “Just as Iran’s soil is important and sacred to us, so too is enriched uranium,” Baghaei said, adding that sending the material to the U.S. “was never an option on the table.” He also dismissed reports of a potential permanent halt to enrichment, describing them as part of a media campaign aimed at influencing negotiators and shaping the course of the talks.

Trump says the Strait of Hormuz is fully open; but the IRGC says no, they get to decide who passes through.

Trump says Iran has agreed to turn over its uranium; and Iran says no, it won't.

How can America possibly compete with Iran's rapping Legos?

I think it would be fun say that, and then pull a jet pack out of a bag. Childhood me is very disappointed that we don’t have jet packs yet.

mamdani being a cheerful normal guy that people project absolute insane things on is one of the things that make him very relatable to me, personally

"The rise of extreme wealth is one of the clearest signs of this imbalance. In 1987, billionaires held wealth equal to 3% of global GDP. Today this tiny elite, just 0.0001% of the world population, owns the equivalent of *16%* of world GDP in wealth."

So far this government has:

- removed EV mandates (and moreover paused rebates to stall the market)
- removed carbon tax
- removed low carbon electricity policy
- removed gasoline tax
- removed oil and gas cap

when does the Canadian Federal government do climate policy?

Striking that the Liberals and Conservatives offer the same response to pain at the pump: siphon money out of the public purse instead of Big Oil’s profits.

NATO allies are refusing to join Trump’s Strait of Hormuz blockade. Britain and France have rejected the plan, with Macron proposing a multinational mission instead. Allies are pushing diplomatic, non-military solutions as Trump’s blockade begins.

Viktor Orbán to try to regain seat in Hungarian parliament by running in Alberta’s Battle River—Crowfoot by-election.

Orbán’s electoral defeat is not simply some abstract thing happening in a far away country overseas

Orbán’s government played a big role in convening the international far-right. Groups funded by Orbán’s gov’t even sponsored Canadian Conservative MPs to attend ultra social conservative conferences:

I don't know, guys. The president started a war with no plan and crashed the world economy, is building immense monuments to himself, is making billions off the presidency, and is now attacking the Pope while presenting himself as Jesus. Maybe the political class should abandon the inside voice.

Orban, The Strongman, Lost - And Suddenly They All Look A Bit Less Undefeatable From Budapest to Westminster to Rome to Paris, Orban’s defeat punctures the myth that the global right is inevitable.

There’s a point where the “they’re inevitable” narrative just… cracks.

Orban lost - properly lost.

And suddenly a lot of other “untouchable” of the hard-right figures are looking a bit less untouchable.

I like the Pope, the Pope smokes dopes.

And in the strategic short term, this very socially conservative person who is as far as you can get from Trudeau in many of her positions, found nothing more appealing than Carney. I think that's telling.

JUST IN: Judge Friedman has rejected the Pentagon’s revised press policy, saying it flouted his earlier order and represents a bid by Hegseth and the Trump admin to “dictate” coverage, what he calls “the mark of an autocracy, not a democracy.” ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

The fact that Ms Gladu, specifically, moved from Poilievre's Conservatives to Carney's Liberals, instead of splintering to some new version of the Reform Party says there's no winning to the right of Poilievre, and there's no room on the other side between the Liberals and Conservatives.

"the Liberal Party made the mistake in the not-too-recent-past of being a party almost entirely defined and steered by one man, rather than a set collection of principles. It looks like it is headed down that same path again."

Take heart — people are in the streets. Chicago marched through the Loop demanding accountability. You can’t bully the world into peace. You can’t terrorize people in the name of humanity.

Have the US Democrats considered introducing floor crossing?
